This is a subset from a larger dataset from Home Math Environment project (downloaded here: https://ldbase.org/datasets/28729a95-d898-4271-b16e-dc67be8d8689) In the project, 339 parents of children aged 3 through 8 answered a questionnaire about their attitudes towards their children math education and their in-home math environment.

Data dictionary:

  • 'numberofchildren' - number of children in the family. Quantitative.
  • 'highschoolGPAblocks' - parental high school GPA in intervals 0-1.0, 1.1 - 2.0, 2.1 - 3.0, 3.1 - 3.5, 3.6 - 4.0. Ordinal.
  • 'compare_child_math' - parental answer to the question “Compared to 100 people this child’s age, he/she would be better than ________ of them with math”. Quantitative.
  • 'famrole1' : ‘famrole5' - parental answers on several questions regarding family role in kids’ education on a likert scale from 1 to 5. Ordinal.
  • 'mathathomeuse1' :’ mathathomeuse52' - responses on 52 questions about regularity of doing 52 different math actitivies with their kids, parents answered on a likert scale from 0 to 5. Ordinal.

The following information could be visualized:

  1. Does parent’s IQ predicts their opinion on how much parents responsible for kids education? Does the number of kids in family moderate this association?
  2. Does parental GPA predicts their kid’s score? Does the number of kids in the family moderate this association?
